Nov-04-2009Alleged kidnapper's parole report to be released
(topic overview)
CONTENTS:SOURCESFIND OUT MORE ON THIS SUBJECTSAN FRANCISCO — California's inspector general plans to release the results of a two-month inquiry into the handling of the Jaycee Dugard's kidnapping case. Wednesday's release might answer a major question: How did suspect Phillip Garrido allegedly manage to keep her hidden from authorities for 18 years even as he was being monitored by parole officers because of a previous rape conviction. Authorities say Garrido was under federal parole supervision and required to register as a sex offender when he allegedly snatched Dugard in 1991. The 29-year-old Dugard was reunited with her family in August.
[1] The California inspector general planned to release the results of a two-month inquiry into the handling of Phillip Garrido's case. The office has said its report would include findings from the investigation and recommendations for improving parolee supervision statewide. Garrido, 58, was under federal parole supervision and required to register as a sex offender when he and his wife, Nancy Garrido, allegedly snatched Dugard outside her South Lake Tahoe home in 1991.
[2] The Inspector General's report will focus on the 10 years Garrido spent under California supervision. It will not include any findings from the 11 years he spent supervised by Federal and Nevada agencies. It was during his time under federal parole supervision that Garrido allegedly kidnapped Dugard in South Lake Tahoe.
[3] The office recently conducted an independent investigation of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation's parole supervision of Garrido. Garrido and his wife, Nancy Garrido, have both pleaded not guilty to rape, kidnapping and other charges related to the kidnapping of Jaycee Lee Dugard. They are being held in El Dorado County. Garrido was on federal and then state parole during the time he allegedly took Dugard from a bus stop and then held her for nearly two decades at his Antioch home. He allegedly fathered Dugard's two children.
[4] SACRAMENTO - After serving 11 years in prison for a rape conviction, Phillip Garrido was supposed to be under the watchful eye of parole officers from 1988-2009. During that time, Garrido allegedly kidnapped Jaycee Dugard in 1991 and kept her hidden in the backyard of his
Antioch, Calif., home.
[3] SAN FRANCISCO — One of the biggest questions surrounding Jaycee Dugard's kidnapping is how her alleged captor managed to keep her hidden from authorities for 18 years even as he was being monitored by parole officers because of a previous rape conviction.
[2] Garrido was under state control for 10 years as a convicted rapist and under federal parole supervision for eight years. Authorities say he hid Dugard in the backyard of his Antioch home after kidnapping her outside her South Lake Tahoe home in 1991, when she was 11, and then fathered two daughters by her.
[5] California took over Garrido's supervision in 1999. As a parolee, Garrido wore a GPS-linked ankle bracelet that tracked his every movement, met with his parole agent several times each month and was subject to routine surprise home visits and random drug and alcohol tests, according to the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
[2] Never did any parole officer uncover the crime until after the now 29-year-old had been missing for 18 years. Wednesday, the Office of the Inspector General will release a report citing what mistakes may have been made by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation in their handling of Garrido's parole.
[3] California Inspector General David Shaw spent two months looking into what the Department of Corrections did and did not do while supervising Garrido on parole.
[6] "Generically, in a case like this, we would take a look at whether or not the department's own rules and regulations were followed in the supervision of Mr. Garrido, or anyone in his situation," state Inspector General David Shaw said in a previous interview.
[4] SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- The state Office of the Inspector General will publicly release the findings of a special review Wednesday that includes parole information about kidnapping and rape suspect Phillip Garrido.
[4] "I have no sense of embarrassment from my department," said Scott Kernan of the CDCR, a few days after Garrido was arrested. "I think (the department) acted appropriately, and I'm very proud of the officer, and how our agency responded this case." One Sacramento legal expert says it's already easy to see why California's parole agency had trouble following Garrido.
[3] The Garridos have pleaded not guilty to 29 counts related to Dugard's abduction, rape and imprisonment. Dugard, 29, was reunited with her family in August, and is living with her daughters and mother in an undisclosed location in Northern California.
[2] Phillip Garrido looks out at the courtroom during his arraignment on 28 felony counts stemming from the abduction of Jaycee Dugard in 1991, in the El Dorado Superior Court in Placerville, Calif., on Aug. 28, 2009.
[6] Inspector Shaw spoke with CBS13 at the beginning of the investigation. "How could this happen and how could it go on for so long?" said Inspector Shaw. "Certainly there were a lot of entities involved that potentially could have found this out." The 29-year-old Dugard was reunited with her family in August.

[6] David R. Shaw will release his findings and recommendations at a news conference scheduled for 11:30 a.m. in Sacramento, following a two-month investigation.
[5] The two-month investigation was launched after questions surfaced about CDCR's failure to find and rescue Dugard and her daughters sooner.
